Laura sat calmly in the carriage, with Nier beside her. The carriage they were in now was not the same one they used to travel to the Montenegro fortress. When they left, they had to keep it a secret, so they had been very low-key. When they returned, they didn’t need to keep a low profile anymore. Now, they were in a four-wheeled carriage pulled by four snowflakes steeds.
The snow divine steed was a fourth-grade Water-type magic beast. It looked like a normal horse, but its entire body was snow-white, and there was not a single strand of stray hair. It also knew some Water-type magic. Most importantly, the snow divine steed was very docile and easy to tame. However, it was very expensive to raise a snow divine steed. Therefore, there were not many people on the continent who could afford to raise a snow divine steed. Even an ordinary middle-grade noble could not do it. The snow divine steed was a symbol of status.
The carriage that Laura and the others were riding in was no ordinary carriage. The entire carriage was divided into two houses. The first layer was made of iron floating wood. Not only was this iron floating wood as hard as steel, but it was also made of an anti-magic material that could block magic attacks.
The inner layer was wrapped with bread cotton. The so-called bread cotton was a very strange plant on the mainland, a kind of plant that was like cotton flowers, but it was very elastic and very pine. It was a top material for making all kinds of furniture.
However, it was a pity that the production of bread cotton was very low, and ordinary people on the continent could not afford it. If Laura bought this carriage, she could buy it for at least 10000 gold coins.
The total value of the four snow steeds was more than 50000 gold coins. It could be said that Laura and the others were not making a carriage, but a moving gold mine.
Laura’s face was sullen. Although the deal had been completed, they had also suffered great losses. They had lost more than 300 guards. If it wasn’t for Zhao Hai, she would not have survived.
She also noticed that someone in her family was trying to take action against her. While she was in the Montenegro fortress, someone in her family came to take care of her business and arranged for people to work in her business.
However, her family still underestimated her many years of business. Although the road was not very smooth, she knew everything about her business. The people arranged by her family seemed to have control of her business on the surface, but as long as she wanted to, she could take back the business at any time.
However, Laura didn’t want to take action yet. She didn’t know if this was the decision of the upper echelons of the family or the doing of the other heirs.
If it was a decision made by the family’s upper echelons, then this matter would be a little troublesome. It meant that the family was going to give up on them. In the future, not only would the family not help them, but it would also bring them a lot of trouble.
However, if this matter was only done by those few heirs, then it was not a big deal. She could have a good fight with those guys to see who was more powerful.
Laura couldn’t help but frown. She wasn’t afraid of fighting those people, but she still lacked one thing-an expert.
Even though Kellen was a 7th-tier magic caster and wasn’t considered an expert, he didn’t like to fight. Hence, even though his magic level was very high, he lacked actual combat experience. If he were to really fight, he wouldn’t be of much use.
Laura was also quite speechless towards her father. She felt that her father had really chosen the wrong profession. He should have been an Alchemist instead of a mage. She had never seen a person who liked to study magic arrays so much.
Thinking of experts, Laura couldn’t help but think of Zhao Hai. This mysterious black magician was too mysterious. Not only did he save her life, but he also settled down in Casar city.
As for Zhao Hai’s background, Laura had asked her subordinates to investigate him, but they found nothing. It was as if he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Although Laura was not in Casar city these few days, she knew everything about Zhao Hai. Don’t underestimate the intelligence of this blessed girl. If she didn’t have these skills, she wouldn’t have been able to make a name for herself in the Versailles Duchy.
It was precisely because she knew about Zhao Hai’s recent events that she had an even higher opinion of him. She also knew about Zhao Hai’s two battles, but to be honest, she didn’t expect such an outcome.
She had seen Zhao Hai’s strength once. He was very powerful, but she also knew that the people who went to deal with Zhao Hai’s group the second time were also very powerful. One of them was the nemesis of black magicians, the light element White Magician. However, under these circumstances, those people still disappeared without a trace. This made everyone feel cold.
To be honest, Laura wasn’t completely at ease with Zhao Hai. The timing of his appearance was too coincidental. Furthermore, he was now living in Casar city. All of this seemed to be directed at her. This made her even more suspicious of Zhao Hai’s motives.
Yes, she was saved by Zhao Hai, but don’t forget that it was the undead mercenaries who attacked her. Zhao Hai was also a black magician. Who knew if they were in cahoots?
Nier sat beside Laura. Seeing Laura frowning, she couldn’t help but say, ” “Miss, what’s wrong? Is there something that you’re unhappy about?”
Laura turned to look at Nier and smiled: ” &Quot; it’s fine, Nier. Have a good rest when we get home. We’ll visit Mr. Zhao Hai tomorrow. &Quot;
When Nier heard Laura’s words, she couldn’t help but say, ” “Miss, weren’t you worried that Mr. Zhao Hai might be targeting you? Then why do you still want to see him?”
Lola smiled and said, ” no matter what, he saved us once. I don’t think he’s with the immortal mercenaries. It’s just that the timing of his appearance is too coincidental. I’m a little suspicious, but we still have to meet him tomorrow. First, to thank him for saving us. Second, to find out more about him. &Quot;
Nicole nodded her head as if she understood. She didn’t know much about these things. She was protected by Laura too well. She had almost no contact with these conspiracies and tricks. She was as pure as a piece of white paper.
Laura looked at Nier, smiled, and sighed. Nier was too innocent. She was the center of everything and listened to everything. This made Laura want to protect her.
At this moment, the carriage stopped, and Seyle’s voice was heard. &Quot; “Miss, we’re home.”
&Quot; yes, ” Laura replied. Nier immediately opened the carriage door. Thales immediately put down the pedal, and Laura came down from the carriage.
Laura’s Home was located in the Xicheng District of Casar city. The people who lived here were either rich or noble. It was the gathering place of all the rich people in the entire Casar city. Although Laura’s family was only a branch of the Mahide family, no one on the continent dared to look down on the Mahide family, especially in a small country like the Duchy of Versailles. As the second-in-line successor of the Mahide family, Kelun’s status was even higher than that of the Grand Duke of Versailles.
Grand Duke Versailles was only one of the Grand Dukes in the Arkas Empire, while the magicdare trading company was a super-large business that spanned half the continent. The strength of the two families was not comparable, so even Grand Duke Versailles had to give face to Karen and Laura. Laura’s house was in the best location in the Xicheng District, occupying an area of over a hundred acres and was extremely gorgeous.
As soon as Lola got out of the car, an old man immediately came up to her. This old man was an old servant of her mother and was also the housekeeper of their family.
Laura respected this old man as much as she respected her Grandpa. When Laura’s mother passed away at a young age, this old man always took care of her as if she was his own granddaughter. Additionally, he taught her a lot of things. It could be said that Laura’s achievement was inseparable from this old man.
As soon as Laura saw the old man, she immediately went up to him and said, ” “Grandfather kun Zheng, why did you come to my door personally to pick me up? This kind of thing can be done by others.”
Kun was looking at Laura with a pampering smile. &Quot; “I’m fine. I heard that someone wanted to deal with you. Of course, I’m here to check whether my little Laura was injured. Hmph, those bastards from the undead mercenary group are getting more and more arrogant. I’ll destroy them one day. How dare they lay their hands on you, Laura? I think they don’t want to live anymore.”
Kun Zheng’s words were not for nothing. He was also a powerhouse, a level-eight Grand Knight. Laura’s Knight skills were learned from him. However, kun Zheng could not attack easily. He had to stay at home to control the situation.
Laura smiled. &Quot; don’t worry, Grandpa kun Zheng. I don’t think the undead mercenaries will come to me any time soon. By the way, where’s my father? ”
Kun Zheng could not help but smile bitterly at the mention of Kleen. &Quot; &Quot; he’s in his lab. I wanted to pick you up, but as you know, he always forgets the time when he’s doing experiments, so I didn’t ask anyone to call him. &Quot;
Laura also knew what kind of person Kelun was, so she didn’t pay much attention to him. She just smiled and said, ” &Quot; it’s alright. Oh right, Grandpa kun Zheng, did you prepare any good food for me? ”
“I knew you were coming back, so how could I not have prepared something nice for you?” kun Zheng laughed. Don’t worry, I’ve specially found someone to spend a lot of money to get two hunchbacked fish for you to have a good meal.”
Upon hearing that her favorite Hunchback was here, Laura couldn’t help but cheer, ” “That’s great, there’s fish to eat.” After she finished speaking, she pulled Nier and ran into the house. At this moment, she showed that she was still a teenager. She didn’t look like the high and mighty, decisive, and blessed girl in front of outsiders.
Kun Zheng couldn’t help but smile when he saw Laura’s expression. He followed behind her. In Kelun’s mansion, kun Zheng’s status was very high. He could be considered as a master in the mansion as both Kelun and Laura respected kun Zheng very much and treated him like a senior. Kun Zheng also treated Kelun’s mansion as his own home and did everything he could for the mansion. He was the only one in the mansion who dared to speak to Laura in this way and also the only one who dared to speak to Kelun in such a loud voice.
